BuildPass keeps your site safe and compliant. Bolster is the all-in-one platform that helps contractors quote 5× faster, win 20% more jobs, and turn every plan into a priced, client-ready proposal.
Backed by Y Combinator · trusted by contractors nationwide
BuildPass starts once you've already won the work — managing the site, the safety and the compliance. Bolster wins the work in the first place. AutoCost prices every line with real, local material and labor costs from 100M+ items, so your quote is accurate the moment you finish it.
Turn any estimate into an interactive, client-ready proposal — with optional items and good/better/best upgrades the customer can add themselves. BuildPass has no estimating or proposals at all, so winning and growing the job stays a manual, separate process.
Describe the project and Bolster's Construction Intelligence runs the entire flow — scoping the work, building the estimate, measuring the takeoff, and generating photoreal renderings and options like the one shown. BuildPass's AI summarizes site diaries and logs defects; Bolster's AI builds the work that wins the contract.
Two tools for two jobs. Bolster wins and grows the work; BuildPass runs a safe, compliant site once it starts.
